My comment is regarding Trumps idea we take over Gaza, especially the way he described it. His description was the message. Beautiful houses in a safe city, where people would not worry about being killed, living a good life. Maybe in Egypt, Jordan, maybe Gaza after we get it cleaned up.

My comment is regarding Trumps idea we take over Gaza, especially the way he described it. His description was the message. Beautiful houses in a safe city, where people would not worry about being killed, living a good life. Maybe in Egypt, Jordan, maybe Gaza after we get it cleaned up.
His unspoken, but ringing message that has to come to everybody's mind, as he kept repeating, "Beautiful city, safe, no killing," is "No Palestinian I've ever seen, for the past 76 years ever, ever, ever expressed a desire for that." Trump knows how to get a message across. It's on them, Palestinians, they can get everything good that everybody else has, but they have to want that, and there's no evidence they do, or they ever did, or they might in the future. No, Trump doesn't want US "taking" Gaza, he wants us to get the message. Then ?
One possible answer to your sensible query of "Then ?"
While Trump is talking about bulldozing and rebuilding Gaza's environment, someone needs to bring up a parallel message about how to rebuild Palestinian souls.
They desperately need a detox from the spiritual poison fed to them for the last 100 years, aka Islam. As long as they still believe that their highest calling in life is to die while killing infidels (Jews first), rebuilding Gaza -- or even relocating Gazans to other Arab nations -- will not bring peace. Not to Israel, not to the West, not to the Arab world.
A totally doable option for Trump's administration is to take some of the money recovered by DOGE, and hire Arabic-speaking Christian missionaries (preferably ex-Muslims) to staff the schools, run the clinics, and administer the aid efforts in rebuilt Gaza.
It may take another generation for Islam to lose its spiritual grip on the people, but hey, if a Christian revival can happen in Iran (despite active opposition from the mullahs) it can happen in Gaza. And it's no coincidence that so many Iranians are also bravely cheering for Israel.
Hannah -- I don't see how any Muslim can ever be taught by a people practicing a different religion, especially one created by 13 Jews, one of which is a son of their G-d, not Allah. You might read up on religions, all of them.
Well, in religious matters there's theory, and then there's real life.
You might try watching some of the interviews with Muslims who became Christians, and hear straight from them how it happens. Their real-life experiences don't seem to follow the assumptions you hint at here. They tend not to "be taught by people" to change their beliefs.

Hannah, good reminder. I know there are Druze - Muslims - fighting with the IDF.
